If the Unnarrator started grading at 9:20 pm tonight when she had all day to do it, and it’s now 11:50 pm, and she has marked 10 papers, and has 23 papers to go, and the Brujo has gone to bed, and she’s taking a break to eat cornflakes and blog, and Pyewacket is sitting on one corner of the desk purring and watching the letters move across the computer screen—and if she also has to find another article for her students for class tomorrow so they can practice annotation, and get to school before 7 am to photocopy it—then what are the chances that she’ll break her vow and buy coffee again in the morning after an all-nighter, further inflaming the delicate gastric membranes which a two-week course of Prilosec is currently working frantically to heal?

    so, no NaNoWritMo? I hope you get adequate sleep soon. Sometimes it’s good to see things from a cat’s perspective.
